This year’s focus is on the “Reale Räume” (Real Spaces) of three current development sites: Dreispitz (Münchenstein), Bachgraben (Allschwil) and Klybeck (Basel). The AWB is using various formats to promote dialogue between experts and local protagonists. The Forum offers the opportunity to discover these development sites and exchange views on the urban transformation process with the various stakeholders. 

The first Basel Pavillon was inaugurated on the Dreispitz site on 10 May: a temporary open venue made of reused building components whose architecture demonstrates new possibilities for climate – friendly construction and the circular economy. The Christoph Merian Foundation is supporting the project and providing the building site.

Trouvailles is an award given to architects as a commission for the development of non-built open and urban spaces in the public sphere. Through a variety of interventions, the AWB would like to invite the public and architects to perceive the city in a new way.

For the Open Office format, numerous architecture, engineering and planning offices in the city and surrounding region open their doors to share insights into the design and production of architecture.

The AWB programme includes numerous Partner Events. Local institutions and organizations contribute to the Architekturwoche with lectures, guided tours, workshops, exhibitions, film screenings, concerts and performances.
